MR. HEFLIN'S INTERFERENCE.
Tho Hefiln incident In Washington
last week is hut another case to for
cibly impress the fact that we are too
prone to Interfere In a personal way
to mend public wrongs. Here is a
case of a couple of negroes engaging
in disorderly conduct-drinking 11
<iuor in a public place and using pro
fnne language. Where was the per
sonal offense to Congressman Hefiln
that ho need enter personally into
thc affair? Tho transgression was
against the laws of the city of Wash
ington, and the city of Washington
pays its own peace officers to take
charge of Just such cases. There ls,
of course, a proper and a very re
sponsible place for tbe Individual citi
zen to outer and occupy, but it is not
lo assume the role of the patrolman
Mr. Hefliu took to himself undue
authority. His plain duty was to see
that tile offenders were punished, but
when he undertook to remonstrate,
and then enforce his remonstrance,
he was clearly out of his proper posi
tion, and his acts brought from him
a greater offense than that which he
sought to correct. Not that we mean
to advise any man to Ignore such
conduct on tho part of others, he
they black or white, but the atten
tion of the officer., of the law should
be called to tho offenders, and the
law should settle the matter.
It would have been far better had
Mr. Heflin simply called an officer
and let him look after the offenders.
He would have preserved his own
dignity and at the same itme accom
plished much more good.
It now looks as tbongil Helen
Qould ls going to play philanthropist
tor another "three-for-a-nlek" for
eigner.

ther interesting story to unwind.
*****
Only a few weeks ago a little boy
nt Newberry waa bitten by a dog,
and a few days later the child died
of hydrophobia. Newberry's city
Officials now announce that they will
enforce the city law requiring dogs
running at large to bo muzzled. Wal.
balla has an ordinance of similar ef
fect, but it has never been strictly
enforced. A warning should be
taken hy every town In the State
from Newberry's sad experience, lt
Is best to enforce the law, and there
by possibly offend a few, rather than
allow the do"; free use of the streets,
and thereby ord;..igor life. After all,
why should we have laws If they are
not to be enforced?

HEFLIN WOUNDS NEG HO.
Has Hoon Very Active In Trying to
Inaugttaifo "jim Crow" LAW.
Washington, March 29.-Last Fri
day night, while on his way to de
liver a temperance lecture, Congress
man J. Thos. Heflin, of Alabama,
shot a negro, Louis Lundy, from a
street car window.
The statement made is that Lundy
and another negro were in the act of
drluking whiskey from a bottle while
seated in a street cai in the presence
of white ladies. Congressman Hef
lin who was in the company of Con
gressman Ellerbe, of South Caro
lina, remonstrated with the negroee
and demanded that their conduct be
respectful in the presence of ladles.
Lundy and his companion took of
fense ant' became abusive to Mr.
iiefiin, an?i trouble began to boll at
once. The nogroes got off the car,
and it is stated that Lundy made a
motion as if to draw a pistol from
bis pocket, when the Congressman
fired through the car window at him.
Two shots were fired by Mr. Heflin,
neither taking effect so far as the
negro was concerned. One bullet,
however, glanced from the street and
struck a white man, Thos. McCreary
of New York, in the leg. inflicting a
slight wound. In the scuffle that
took place in the car prior to the
shooting Mr. Heflin struck Lundy
over the head with his pistol, inflict
ing a severe wound. The negro, it
Is sal-!, will get. well in a ?diort while.
Congressman Heflin, owing to his
ardent advocacy of the "Jim Crow"
car law being made applicable to the
street cars In the District of Colum
bia, has come In for a full share of
hatred from the Washington negroes,
and says he has received a number of
threatening letters, of which the fol
lowing is a fair sample:
"Assuredly if you attempt to inter
fere with the harmonious relations
now existing between the races In the
District of Columbia as certainly will
your life pay for the privilege.
"This is applicable to all Southern
members likely to crave for glory
and a halo, lt ls as easy to remove
an 'objectionable' of your stamp In
this capital as a grand duke In St.
Petersburg.
"You will be warned no m^re. Re
member Calais made Ugh? of the
swords soon to be reeki.ig with lils
blood, and an eye hap '.<?en upon you
all session in anticipation of such
outbreak. (Signed:)
"One for All and All for One."
Mr. Heflin was released on a bond
of $r>,000 which was furnished by
George Driver, a saloon keeper.
Washington ls deeply interested in
the outcome of this case, which will
attract no little attention over the
entire country.
A Twenty-Year Sentence.
"I have Just completed a twenty
year health sentence, Imposed by
Hucklon's Arnica Salve, which cured
me of bleeding piles Just twenty
y?ars, ago," writes O. S. Woolever,
of LeRaysville, N. Y. Rucklen's Ar
